Hinangaan si Karen sa kanyang sagot na, ”I believe that the real problem in this world is not climate change.

“The real problem is us because of our ignorance and apathy.

“What we have to do is to start changing our ways, to start recalibrating our minds and redirecting our steps because together, as a global community, our micro-efforts will have a macro-effect to help save our home, our planet.”

Sa pageant’s question-and-answer portion, natanong si Marquez ng, how she would promote the Hispanic-American culture with the great difficulty or barrier of language.

Sagot ni Marquez, ”Language can be learned but the will and determination to contribute to the organization cannot. It has to come from the heart. It has to be natural. I believe that kindness is a universal language that if you treat people with tolerance, patience and love, you will understand each other.

“The Hispanic culture is not about language only. It’s about love for God, love for country, love for history and culture and love for family. As a Filipina with a unique heritage, I have instilled that. I am ready to promote the Hispanic culture not just in Asia but in the whole world. It is time to celebrate the Hispanic culture. It is meant to be celebrated.”
